My solo act is molded by the troubadours of the Seventies including Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Jimmy Buffet, John Prine, and Gordon Lightfoot etc. My Solo Act has developed and matured over the course of 28 years. The fact that I have played some of these songs thousands of times, for nearly 30 years, means I love what I do.

Some additional artists include John Denver, Dave Matthews, The Stones, The Dead, The Guess Who, Chicago, the Smithereens, Barenaked Ladies etc. I sell memories and beer.

I can steer a show several ways depending on the venue and pulse of the audience. I play 95% of my gigs without a songbook/tablet or setlist and rather focus on the performance.
